Tips

Check in advance with Sakaide City or the festival's official announcements regarding cancellations due to bad weather. After the show, roads around the venue become congested, so waiting a bit at the wharf before departing helps ease traffic. Since taxi lines can be lengthy on the return to Sakaide Station, confirm walking routes in advance.

Best time to visit

Scheduled for 8:00 PM to 8:30 PM. Secure your spot before the start and choose a position facing the sea with good visibility to simultaneously enjoy the fireworks and their reflections on the water.
